How sturdy are the shelves? maximum weight?

They are "OK". I wouldn't fill them with books and whatever weight is on them needs to be evenly distributed from the front of the shelf to the back, especially on the lower shelves. With just the one upright piece on either side instead of two, balancing the weight is more important.

I wouldn't be able to completely answer that question. The maximum weight i have exerted on one shelf is about 15 pounds which is books. I wouldn't try to put anything too heavy on it. My weight is distributed on the shelves.The shelves are wider as it gets to the bottom.

The shelves are pretty sturdy and as you get to the wider ones especially, the bottom, I have about 30 pounds on them. The narrow shelves at the top are really only for decorator items because of the width. I absolutey love these shelves and may very well buy them in white to do my office space because they would be perfect to hold printer, files and basic office supplies.

They are sturdy but I don't know how much weight you could put on them. I have pictures and knickknacks which aren't that heavy. It is a nice shelf. I like it a lot.

The shelves are 7 3/4" wide and 24" long. I don't know about how much weight they can hold, but they seem quite sturdy.

I have this cabinet set and I don't think the shelves really have much of a weight limit. I'd say so go for it!

I haven't had any trouble with them bending, and I have every shelf full, some with heavy items. I'd say they are pretty sturdy.

We havent loaded the shelves up yet, but they seem pretty thick and sturdy. Probably about 1 - 1.5 inches and seem sturdy, I doubt they would bend.It seems nicely made.

Shelves are pretty sturdy and can hold quite a bit, however as a whole the structure isn't. Almost broke it carrying out of the apartment when moving out as it's it's susceptible to being twisted/arc when held from both ends.

I have 5 units now - one 3-tier, four 5-tier - from 2 different suppliers. I have them crammed with books. No problem. They are metal and very sturdy. I cannot find a specification for weight per shelf.

The metal is a decent weight. I'm sure it would be sturdy using just two shelves.

The shelves are very sturdy , I feel they would hold a set of encyclopedias...I do not know the weight limit on them

We bought these about 6 months ago and couldn't be happier with them. They look great and are extremely sturdy. We did brace the back so they could not fall forward. I'm not sure the weight limit is but we have not had any problems with anything we have loaded on the shelves.

Shelves are extremely sturdy. We have many books and even with our cat jumping on it, it remains very sturdy.

My TV weighs 90 lbs. Easily supports that on top shelf. Don't know max weight.

Not sure. I put a lot on these shelves and it holds up to it. They themselves are very light and I can move them around in the closet or use them in two pieces so I can put them on the top shelf if my closet to organize.

I would not suggest heavy items. Shelves are only anchored into one side plus they are not solid wood..they are hollow and light weighr

Yes, the shelves are very sturdy. I keep large vases of seashells on mine, and some very large shells. The shelves are quite thick!

This is a very sturdy shelf, and heavier than they look in the pictures. I have two of them end-to-end against a patio wall. We've loaded them with bags of fertilizer, buckets of gardening tools, our box for glass recycling, ice buckets filled with beverages for parties, and other odds and ends, with no problem at all. They don't take up much room, either.
